These people need jobs and to get outta that hustle mindset. I been to prison and and sold drugs in the past and I can tell you it’s a literal dead end road. Everything you obtain you will lose and they won’t decipher what’s legally bought and illegal so they take all you shit. It’s better to build on rock than sand
Sorte a minha que aqui no Brasil as casas possuem muros e portões. Mais privacidade e segurança, infelizmente isso se deve por conta de assaltos recorrentes por aqui, independente de bairro ou cidade, mas calma, aqui não tem somente isso e na maioria das cidades é bem tranquilo de viver.
Living in Australia, I find these videos fascinating Charlie as we really have nothing to compare to this. Thank you for your hard work and stay safe mate.
I lived in Baltimore for about 30 years. Scenes like this are extreme, but easy to find. Sadly, when you don't live in those neighborhoods, you get used to the blight and ignore it. There are still lots of nice places in the city, but people really turn a blind eye to the bad parts. I never got the sense that people who lived there cared, not the people in good neighborhoods or bad neighborhoods. It was just like "you know where NOT to go." Which blows, because if people would stop killing each other and selling/doing drugs, Baltimore could be a wonderful place again.
Some people do not want to do better. They want to keep blaming it on systemic racism. My family was born and raised in the hood yet most of them moved on to become 6 figure earners in the DMV area. I know some people who have been living off of government assistance for the past 20+ years and their sons stand around at gas stations all day, selling drugs and killing each other in the process. Some of their bullets weren’t even meant to hit children or black women but they still did. Black people do have to try a little harder whereas “others” get things handed to them but it can be done! I’ve seen it and experienced it too many times. Baltimore and Detroit have so much potential to be better than what it is. About 10 years from now, I bet those cities will look completely different. Gentrification will wipe out whose left. Expensive housing is coming and it’s designed to keep certain people out. Oh hell vouchers get handed out like candy but apartments in nice areas avoid taking them to keep out a certain group of people.
@@ryanolson6025 huh? I guess you haven’t been often or stayed downtown in the power plant or the inner harbor. Been living in the city my whole life. Bmore is so bad and worse than ever right now and keeps getting worse. 2019 had the highest homicide rate in the city’s history and been close to that every year. Just look at all the local news coming out of bmore and they don’t even report anything outside of mass shootings and murders. People get killed in bmore every day and the drug heroine war in the city is at an all time high tension right now. Not the mention the poverty and addiction in the city, it’s bad and worse than what it seems.
Just a reminder to be grateful for what we have and to give thanks every day. I don't have very much but grateful for everything I do have, thank You Jesus 🙏
You are a good person peanut butter girl. I agree with you. I've seen miracles happen to people who actually take the time to thank the lord for whatever little they have.
Respect to the homeowner of the house at 5:45. Even though the house is in the middle of the hood, they still have their lawn looking spotless with no litter.
Gary, IN. Run by Dems since 1943 Jackson, MS. Run by Dems since 1917 Atlanta, GA. Run by Dems since 1872 Baltimore, MD. Run by Dems since 1967 Detroit, MI. Run by Dems since 1962
Hey Charlie. Like your videos, but just as a suggestion, is it possible for you to timestamp the particular hoods shown in each video, just to know where these are? Keep up the good work
There gotta be hella rats in the not vacant one too. In NYC if there's a vacant building... every building around it has hella big ass rats because of it.
Gary, Indiana, East St Louis and Detroit are the most depressing cities I've been too. Detroit has the most abandonment as a whole but I feel like the majority of Gary and East St Louis are abandoned. East St Louis removed traffic lights due to the population decline and just has stop signs. Detroit is on the right path to making a comeback. I know some awesome people from Detroit. Great city.
I will never understand how someone can live and watch all this garbage arround their house, even if is in the same street.. Yeah' people left, houses are empty etc.. but others who still live there should organize and clean that garbage.. this is not normal.
Baltimore, Camden, Philly. The 3 ugliest, dirtiest cities in America. Amazing how close they all are to each other. Don’t just blame the city, blame the residents too. At least Detroit is working on demolition of the abandoned neighborhoods, but it will take a while.
@@jasonvoorheeskill What are you talking about. "100% copy" foh. I understand they both have Victorian rowhouse styles, but Baltimore looks completely different and is more gritty. The only city that looks almost looks exactly like London is Boston imo.
Baltimore and other mid atlantic cities like philadelphia have what people in these cities would call rowhouses. Terraced housing in the UK is the same idea. Baltimore has all types of row houses built for different classes when they were built, there are larger more extravagant ones built for the ultra wealthy in neighborhoods like mount vernon and then theres smaller ones like these that were usually built in mass for working class immigrants who would work factory jobs. The architecture may very slightly with baltimore having various american victorian/classical styles but overall id agree that these do look extremely reminiscent of a lot of terraced housing in the UK.
I moved out of Detroit (8 Mile and 75) 45 years ago to attend college and still am saddened to see how Detroit communities continue to degrade. There are some good people who live there.
@@vandershightimes792 the city was still losing businesses to less expensive cities around it, however the town still has it's neighborhoods and the old folks still had a resilient attitude.. that is what happened the old folks who gave a rip were still supporting and defending the neighborhoods. Without the old folks it isn't the same. I miss them. They had the fabric of culture to keep the city going.
@@vandershightimes792 the homes were all in tact back then at 8 and 75. Crime was up. Lots of stolen cars but were picked up by law enforcement. No burned out homes. Now there might be two or three homes on the entire block occupied. It's a war zone now.
@@springheeljak145 no it’s not. He’s suggesting cleaning up the area, not moving folk out to move another social economic group in. There is a difference.
@@skipads5141 Pushing people who already live in the neighborhood is racist. But that kind of eviction is built into the ultra racist US real estate market.
Both Philly and Atlanta shouldn't be on the list because they both have to many safe zone thriving areas of the city .. Detroit and Baltimore unsafe zone areas are way bigger than their safe zone areas ...And for the fact Philly and Atlanta are growing should take them off the list
@@jpgm2015 Philly look the worst, but the word is abanoned. Kensington has fiends 24/7, it looks terrible worst neighbrohood in the country, but it's still "vibrant" full of people lol. People don't know the difference between abandoned and worst looking. smh
St. Louis definitely top 1-3 on this list and Memphis definitely top 4 Kansas City is like top 5-6 1. St. Louis / East St. Louis 2. Detroit 3. Baltimore 4. Memphis 5. Gary Indiana 6 basically the whole Midwest
@Baltimore JAMMA Baltimore isn’t gentrified like that compared its neighboring major cities DC and Richmond. Y’all are the reason why Maryland is in the top 10 most blackest states in America because the black population in Baltimore is higher than Dc and Richmond even they’re still predominantly black but by a little bit
It’s Mind blowing….I couldn’t fathom growing up in those areas ….and where I’m from people consider “Ghetto” locally…..it’s literally PARADISE in comparison to these unfortunate neighborhoods. Great Video,
@@tonytucker6145 Cleveland has a ridiculous amount of bandos. Obviously I can't say for certain which city has more between Cleveland and Baltimore but Cleveland is definitely one of the worst.
Detroit used to look even more fucked up than it does now, before Mayor Duggan started demolishing much of these old abandoned and burned up structures, entire neighborhoods burned up for blocks and blocks, wicked and beautiful at the same time #GOTHAM CITY
Bruh I came across a new stat that shows most people pick Houston to move to over Atlanta in the South, even Tampa was above Atlanta where more people choosing that in the South these days over Atlanta.
@@amanidavis2814 that's interesting cause where I'm from in the NJ NY area, Atlanta is more geographically convenient to move to + more ancestral ties than Houston. We def move to Florida a lot tho so I get that
I remember vividly growing up in a city similar to these. I'm happy that the internet is here for the kids in these cites to see there's so much more world other than the one you see. 🙏 (if that makes sense)
That's a great reply! I was just thinking the same, but opposite (if that makes sense). I was thinking how extremely grateful I am for my blessings, and grateful people like @CharlieBo313 use the Internet to show the "real" world so people can learn about other places and not the glam life or tourist spots!🕊️🙏❤️🕯️
I live in a more rural area out west, have lived here all my life. I cant even imagine seeing it look like places in this video. So sad your hometown has become this way. I appreciate these videos, makes me appreciate where I live.
I live in Atlanta and yes there are neighborhoods as shown in this video, but most of Atlanta is very nice and has many many beautiful neighborhoods and a number of affluent areas.
Half of those people that did make it wouldn’t be rich without that music. The music is from the environment the music did not create the environment. Nice try tho
@@NeverStop909 because a lot of them actually do. But it’s going to take more then that few million they have to fix the lives of thousands goofy. I have a question, why can’t black people enjoy their money meanwhile there are literally billionaires walking around that hasn’t done anything for the hood?
Some of those row homes in Baltimore have been vacant for over 50 years now... Some of them are mere brick shells after a fire burned them out, now completely gutted inside with the door and window openings cinderblocked or bricked over, and a plastic tarp on top for a roof... The main walls are left standing and braced inside just to save the structural integrity of the rest of the intact homes within the row... Some of those structures date back to the Civil War...
Wow. Really aghasted seeing Jackson, MS, looks so much like Detroit and Gary. There was no auto or steel industry in that region that went bust to have caused that, the number of abandoned homes. So what was the true cause there?
Detroit houses are beautiful, I don’t get it no matter how many times I’m told why they are left to Rot I’ll never get it and understand why the hell these beauty’s are just left empty. 💖💖Charlie💖💖
Im from Philly bro so I go to a family reunion in Detroit. Stay for a week. On GOD it is not popping like empty truly abandoned but yo beautiful houses and buildings that once was but really even downtown is abandoned
@@bluecyclone7077 It was like 10 years ago bro I stayed at gm hotel i had a week to walk around downtown and take cabs to the trap to find bud. Nah I can tell it was beautiful city no cap and if its on a come back then thats whats up. I never been back. Bud good too cold at night in summer time all good though.
Moro no Brasil e gosto de muito de ver seus vídeos, justamente por conta do esteriótipo em que os Estados Unidos é formado somente por condomínios além dos grandes centros urbanos. Infelizmente criminalidade existe em qualquer lugar, e bairros mais simples e perigosos também. Antigamente o bairro em que moro era bem violento, graças a Deus que a polícia da minha cidade tem feito um ótimo trabalho. De Caçapava, São Paulo, Brasil.
@@madeleinehlohzer2381 verdade, andar de madrugada aí deve ser macabro demais! E os filmes (a grande maioria) esconde esses lugares. Por isso que eu sempre ando no Google maps por essas cidades para ver como elas realmente são!! Os bairros comuns americanos são bonitos, mas não são lá aquelas coisas como os casões da classe média alta que mostram sempre para a gente
This might sound silly but I feel sad for some of these houses that have interesting unique design and nobody cares or is able to fix them to be someone's home.
Curious about the demographics of these communities... Is there a common element? I am working on a research paper, trying to understand why so many U.S. cities experience what can be described as a "total failure".
@@johnfrench6564 True but the Japanese from then are the Chinese/Asians from now. No recovering this time, everybody including politicians is only plundering right now. That's why it seems like what it is... everybody working for himself ans against the country. US get beaten by their own weapons. World dominance and controlling politicians AND their rivals of a country with tons of printed paper money. I'm from EU and we experience the same BUT are better off because we have far less vendetta enemies
There's no comparison between the village of Hempstead which is a tiny incorporated village within the Town of Hempstead which is in the county, of Nassau, one of the wealthiest counties in the country. The taxes in those little houses are damn near $10,000 per year, and up.
*Fun fact, USA is actually much more cleaned up in urban areas than it was pre -2000s so you're not even looking at the worst but progress. USA urban areas in the 70-90s were much more crime ridden and run down. The crime now doesn't even compare to the crime of the 70-90s. Although the wealth/income gaps are much more wider than before*
WE CAN'T WASTE ENERGY KEEPING ARE HOMES AND STREETS CLEAN, WE HAVE TO SAVE OUR ENERGY FOR MORE IMPORTANT THINGS, LIKE BASKETBALL, DANCING AND INTERCOURSE
what do all 5 cities have in common? they are all in usa. also, they are in a country filled with bigots such as @Sgt Bill who fails to understand that his white ancestors captured black people and brought them to usa to be used as slaves, and although slavery is now illegal in the usa its history connects with why there are people in usa such as @Sgt Bill making uninformed suggestions that the devastation of the usa is caused by black people.
I'm convinced Baltimore remains bad in areas where the houses are flat boxes. All the nice home fronts are being bought up. Of course people with no budgeting then migrate towards the boxes. If I've described something which has been taking place throughout history, Why then buy homes from builders who build junk for profit? People vote with their spending - begin learning that buying cheap doesn't amount to much in the long run. (Buy pizza & beer....or buy tools......Which did you pick?)
And that's just Afghanistan. Add Iraq and Syria into the mix and it's almost 8 trillion. Eight trillion for nothing! Shows you what the government's priorities really are.
Heartbreaking to see these Detroit homes so far gone with no life. I was in Detroit in the early 1990's and it was only slightly better. Will they ever rebuild?
East Baltimore is no joke…but once you hit the west side I was like ok y’all about to see the real deal haha. Should’ve spent more time in that area around North Ave
